Homeschool French Activities

FRENCH SENTENCE STARTER QUESTIONS -Est-ce que...? Engaging and fun Back to School bulletin board for students to use as a visual cue to practice using routine French language in the K-2 classroom from Day 1. Modern Language Standard 1.0.

It is never too late to start routine language and can be a great visual for those on an IEP, those students who need a boost, and for peers to help others build their confidence with using these everyday questions.

What's in the resource?

-27 full colour images with depictions of daily routines

-sample bulletin board so you can see the set up

-Large print words for easy reading from a distance

-Est-ce que je peux chercher une gomme? (chercher un crayon, chercher mon cahier, jouer avec un ami, boire de l'eau, aller aux toilettes, etc.

-Est-ce que tu peux m'aider avec mes bottes, tailler mon crayon, m'aider avec mon manteau, etc.

-allows students to ask 'Est-ce que' questions and develop their oral communication skills independently.

Who can use this resource:

I think this resource is perfect for French Immersion teachers like myself, for Core French teachers, and for language teachers who work in other countries. I happen to be in Ontario, Canada but these questions apply to any young learner. K-3 in the Immersion setting, Gr. 4-6 in Core French (and younger), and perfect for Homeschool students as well.

Daily routine language:

Students who are able to quickly master daily routine language feel confident to then try using less common words in class with teachers and peers. The secret to great communication is when students don’t even realize they are speaking to each other in French. This resource could set them on a path to natural, fluid speaking with confidence!

I hope you enjoy this resource and that you will check out some other items in my shop. If you love this item, I would really appreciate a review and a follow!

You may copy this resource in its original size of make student sized images by copying multiple pages onto the same document. Ie. two pages per sheet, or 4 pages per sheet.

What grade level:

I personally use this visual schedule with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the images with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their understanding of their daily activities and what order their learning will take place in each day. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to communicate at the Junior level.

IEP students:

We all have students with IEPs who need that extra boost to build confidence and to lessen anxieties about what is happening in class. Students quickly learn to identify each card and help each other use this language throughout the day. This has had a positive impact on all students in the class and supports the most vulnerable learners too!

Are you looking for materials to help your French students with reading and listening comprehension? This unique story and lesson will keep your students' attention, and it is ready to go and doesn't require any prep on your end.

Read and listen to a narrative story in French about Vanessa's daily routine - la routine quotidienne - in the passé composé. Students will practice and strengthen reading, writing, and listening skills.

Many different French verbs are used in the present tense including regular verbs, irregular verbs, and reflexive verbs. Some verbs are used with various forms of negation.

This story is available in 6 tenses and in a money-saving bundle:

• Present Tense
• Passé Composé
• Imperfect
• Futur Simple
• Conditional
• Futur Antérieur
• Bundle of all 6 stories

Included:

• MP3 audio recording
• French only text version
• French and English text version
• Gap fill exercise - VERBS
• Gap fill exercise - VOCABULARY

➯ STEP 1: Listen to the audio recording of a typical day in the life of Vanessa. See how much you can understand without reading along. It's only a little more than two minutes long, so you can listen to it a few times if necessary.

➯ STEP 2: Listen and read along at the same time with the French only version of the text.

➯ STEP 3: Read the French and English version of the text and notice how the sentence structure changes when comparing the two languages. Take note of any new vocabulary or expressions.

➯ STEP 4: Gap fill exercise #1 - Fill in the blanks with verbs as you listen once again to the audio recording. Check your work with the French only version of the text.

➯ STEP 5: Gap fill exercise #2 - Improve listening skills and comprehension of syntax while increasing your vocabulary. This time, rather than filling in the blanks with verbs, you will listen closely to all of the other words and write what's missing in the exercise. Check your work with the French only version of the text.

Ready to use French stories save loads of time when you unexpectedly need to miss a day and provide substitute material.

My French stories in 6 tenses are perfect for emergency sub plans that do not require advanced preparation or elaborate instructions. Just print the stories and supplementary materials and you’ll have a fun exercise ready for your students when you can't be there.

Bell Ringers - Daily Journals for French class.

1. Day 1:  Show them the presentation and model for them.

2. Day 2: 

3. Print, copy, and have them ready for students as they walk in.

4. Saving on paper? Copy machine never works? Download the slide as a png and have students write on them on a touchscreen device or their own papers. My students use the app Chrome Canvas on their Chromebooks. I loan styluses to students during class. They aren’t too expensive. Some students just write with their fingers. (Please see my terms of use for using digital downloads.)

5. Day 2: Discuss the responses as a class. If you need to repeat Day 1 for the talking part for a few days, that’s okay. They will get it.

6. Days 3-5: Continue discussing responses after the journal each day. This will help them with writing and speaking.

7. Days 6 and on (or when you know they are ready): When used consistently, students will be able to speak with the phrases very quickly. Have them sit in groups and discuss their journals as you walk around the room. I often keep track of points on Class Dojo and give them a goal to shoot for.

8. Scaffold so that students will be able to talk without the journal eventually.

9. Use the words and phrases that they have learned in other activities.

10. Add the questions and answers to write stories as a class or individually. I tell students to include the day, date, weather, etc. in all of their stories.

11. Ask students what another student said work on other perspectives, i.e. I, you, he, she, etc. 

12. Student A: Je me sens triste.

13. Student B: Elle dit, «Je me sens triste.» or «Elle se sent triste.»

For Conversation:

1. Day 1:  Show them the presentation and model for them.

2. Every day: Start with the journal at the beginning of each period. I usually do this for a few weeks. It will help with the conversation cards.

3. Day 2: Discuss the responses as a class.

4. Scaffold - Gradually, have students talk without the aid of the journal. I generally let students use their journals for 2 or 3 weeks, depending on the level, before having them talk without their work in front of them.

5. Slide 13 - Ask, Ask, Trade- Each student gets a card and switches cards throughout the activity to practice various types of weather.. 

6. Student A: «Comment est-ce que tu te sens?» (Or teach the formal «Comment est-ce que vous vous sentez?» (This could be on the board in front  so students can refer back to it as they learn it.)

7. Student B (who has a happy face): , “Je me sens heureux.” or “heureuse.”  Then Student B asks: “Comment est-ce que tu te sens?”

8. Student A (who has a sad card): “Je me sens triste.”

9. Students A and B exchange cards and find new partners.

10. During Ask, Ask, Trade- After students have had more practice with the cards, have them tell new partners what previous partners said. (Ex: Je me sens triste mais Sarah se sens grincheuse.)

11. Win, Lose, or Draw: Draw a conversation card from a pile. Draw it on the board and class guesses. Students or the teacher can draw.

12. Aïe! Game Instructions are included when slides are in “edit” mode.

Benefits for Students:

• Enhances vocabulary acquisition and retention through active engagement.
• Encourages critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Fosters creativity and self-expression through daily writing practice.

Why Choose This Resource?

• Two all French Dots & Boxes games are included.  Each player draws lines using a different color while speaking the words on either side of the lines they draw.  When they complete a box, they draw an X in the box using their color.  Once all of the boxes have been completed, count to see who has the most!

• Two Dots & Boxes games in English to be used for translating to French.  Each player draws lines using a different color while translating the words on either side of the lines they draw.

• Two Tic-Tac-Toe worksheets to encourage mastering all 48 words on the list.  Students already know how to play this game, so you won’t need to do much explaining.  Choose a square, read the word aloud, write an X or an O on the square.  The first player to get three in a row wins that round!  Each worksheet includes four Tic-Tac-Toe vocabulary games.

• Two Ceci ou Cela games are included in this vocabulary packet.  Each numbered row offers three choices.  Students read the three choices aloud and say the one that they prefer.  At the bottom of the page it says “Je préfère _____ parce que...” This is an opportunity for students to give reasons for their preferences in French! 

• Six different Bataille Navale games will have your students speaking in complete sentences in French using the target vocabulary with “J’aime” or “Je n’aime pas” as starters.  This is an excellent way to prep for the upcoming writing and speaking activities!

4 writing activities following the “J’aime” or “Je n’aime pas” theme, and 48 speaking prompt cards are included.

• One writing worksheet asks students to choose five things they like and to write two reasons why they like them.  “PARCE QUE” and “CAR” are both used in each sentence so that students will get used to the idea that they are interchangeable.

• One writing worksheet asks students to choose five things they don’t like and to write two reasons why they don’t like them.  Once again, “PARCE QUE” and “CAR” are both used in each sentence.

• One paragraph writing worksheet asks students to identify four things they don’t like and to write a full paragraph about why they don’t like them.  A self-evaluation checklist is included at the bottom of the page to encourage proof-reading and to make sure students include all four of their choices, adjectives, adverbs, and articles.

• The second paragraph writing worksheet asks students to identify four things they do like and to write a full paragraph about why they like them.  The same self-evaluation checklist is included at the bottom of the page, as well as one to make sure they’ve included all of the essential elements.

• Each of the 48 speaking prompt cards includes a different word from the list of target vocabulary in this packet.  There are four cards on each page.  Just print them and cut them out.  Laminate them if possible for years of no-prep activities!  The “J’aime” ou “Je n’aime pas” theme is repeated as well as using “parce que” and “car” interchangeably.
